People tell me all the time that mixing like 1tsp. of apple cider vinegar with 16 ounces of water will help kill my hunger and speed up my metabolism, but it all sounds like bull to me. So does it really work?

My grandmother swears by ACV for weight loss, relief of arthritis and many other things. She drinks a few tablespoons everyday for her arthritis.
I put ACV in my dogs water and it keeps the ticks and fleas away....I also clean with vinegar so there are a few uses for it.0 -
I've used it before and I did notice that my appetite was cut a little but it definitely made me have to run to the bathroom all day long! I work with some people who used it too and they had the same experience. If you're gonna use it, it takes a while to get used to the taste. Adding honey to the mix makes it easier to drink and will mask the flavor of the vinegar some.0

It works for me. I take apple cider vinegar capsules (2 three times a day).0

I haven't tried it but my 94 year old grandmother swears by it for overall health. She takes a spoonful a day.0

I've used it that way when I do a 3 day natural detox but it sure tastes nasty. I use apple cider vinegar with olive oil for a salad dressing more often. I can't recall exactly, I've read so many weight loss articles, but I know it is recommended to help with weight loss and metabolism boosting. Same for spicy foods - so I add red pepper flakes to my food instead of salt and pepper!0

I haven't tried it, but I've heard it helps with hunger, speeds up metabolism, and knocks the "Creeping Crud" right on it's butt!0

Instead of drinking it, why not make some sort of salad dressing with it? That way you don't have to get used to the flavor since it will mix in with everything else.
Here's a few recipes for it:

I did it and noticed nothing but major tooth sensitivity and later reflux. I mixed it with plenty of water, got over taste and nada. However, it does...erm... keep you regular at least. But the miracle cure... nope. At least it wasn't for me.0
